Hello From Colorado

[WackyT]

Hi All!

I got my first guitar yesterday, a Fullerton Standard Strat clone left-handed, and am really looking forward to finally learning guitar at the age of 41. Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself.

 

[Robert]

Welcome, WackyT - I just got a right-handed version of that guitar - I love it for the price.

Glad to have ya.

Hi All!

Way to go WackyT! Keep at it, it's a kick! I've been at it 1 1/4 years & I'm 45. So you have me beat by a few years.


Here's a tip:


GAS = Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

synonyms are TONE and ADDICTION & all of this can be spelled using only $'s.



uhhh..I just read that you're a lefty!

Never mind the welcome then.....









Just kidding; Some of my best friends are southpaws.....

 

[WackyT]

Thanks all (especially tot Ou tard)! Looks like this'll be a good place to hang out online and learn something about gitars.

Hey, there, Lefty! Welcome to TheFret. So what are you planning on playing that Fully Strat through, anywho?

Got a 20-watt Fullerton practice amp in the package I bought from Music123.com.

 

[duhvoodooman]

That'll get you started! We'll GAS you into a tube amp before too long, though!! We are collectively a very bad influence around here, financially speaking!

 

[WackyT]

I bet you guys will. And also once I can play, I'd love to get a Fender Strat. R

 

[t_ross33]

Hey Wacky! Welcome aboard the crazy train R

I've been playing for almost 30 yrs, but focusing on guitar for only about 1-1/2 yrs (bass and strictly cowboy chords on an old acoustic before that). I still don't know half of what most of the guys in here know. But I'm determined, and the joy is in the journey, not the destination.

Oh, by the way: in the past year and 1/2 I've bought 4 guitars, selling one; three amps, sold one; a 1/3 stake in a PA rig and monitors; a modelling multi-fx pedal; an OD pedal; an EQ pedal; Bass OD and Bass Chorus pedals; a wireless system; numerous cables and cords; lots of guitar strings and pics; stands and misc. hardware. I'm probably missing some stuff here.

What I'm saying is: Beware the GAS! :R

WackyT...hmmmm...is that an abbreviation?

We're all a little wacky here so you should feel right at home.

Enjoy!

Picked up the nickname while I was stationed in Germany. Wacky T(im), my first name.

Thanks Spud.

Gitars?!? So that is what all the yakking is about.


& I was thinking that this was a pancake forum.

Guitars & panckes go together like:

A southpaw hey, I am left handed on most things but not guitar. I have been playing a year now and this place is the best place to grow. Plenty of help and feel free to put up sound clips when you feel comfortable, I never thought I would ever let any one hear me play early on but everyone is very helpful and tolerable.

[WackyT]

Thanks M29. I'll post up some sound clips once I'm actually playing music. I'm still learning fretting and chords. Don't think anyone wants to hear that.
